Mr. Hudson’s Back, With “When The Machine Stops”

It’s been a shocking TEN years since Mr. Hudson’s last album, Straight No Chaser premiered via Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music tag. The British singer/songwriter/producer is popularly known with the likes of Ye and JAY-Z, his distinctive sound and the vulnerability he imbues placing him. Now , he finally gets his return with his new full size LP WHEN THE MACHINE STOPS. The 11-track album includes guest appearances by Vic Mensa along with Taylor Bennett, also gifts from Schae, Josh Dean, Petite Noir along with Good Grace.

“Thank you in advance for listening to these new songs,” Mr. Hudson re-writing his statement on Instagram. “I’t been working on these for 9 weeks and they’virtually yours.  They are simply zeroes and ones onto a server someplace till you press play… turn up the volume (it is better when it is loud) and let me know how it makes you feel if you’ve got a favorite track” In terms of the album’s content itself, if you’re not into synth-y, postmodern, electronic, high-tech-esque sounding tunes, you’d probably be better off sitting this one out. His tracks that feature Vic Mensa and Taylor Bennett, “Chicago” (which he released as a single prior to the album), and “Magic City,” respectively, add a more up-tempo and hip-hop infused twinge to the project. But, Hudson’s specialty lies in the raw emotion and self-inquisition he diffuses within his work, and a wider audience is more likely to respond to his more stripped-back tracks such as: the somber”Antidote,” the introspective”Tesla,” – which, for its part, incorporates a much-needed bass element to the album – as well as the final 3, closing tracks of the album,”Slept On Me,””Go Now,” and”Closing Time” An total ode into existentialism, lost love and loneliness, this album proves a success for Mr. Hudson.
